Just far enough from Chicago to commute back-and-forth, let alone the beauty and quaintness of Oak Park and so much to do there. Some of the best restaurants we've ever been to.

Perfect Place to stay!
This is one of the best properties I have ever rented! The house was beautiful and immaculate! The neighborhood was safe and quiet! Host Raymond was incredible! He met me at the door, provided a walk through and was very friendly. I cannot recommend this property enough! I will definitely look for availability here on my next trip to the Chicago area!

Great Chicago Stay
We had a great time staying here. The property was an the perfect size for our family. Community was nice and quiet. Grocery store and parks were right around the corner. Easy access to the Highway and city. Backyard was amazing to sit and enjoy the evening. I would highly recommend staying here when you visit chicago.

A lovely home away from home
We loved our stay in Oak Park. The house is lovely and very clean. The kitchen is well equiped and the neighbourhood is quiet and beautiful. Grocery store close by as are several playgrounds for children. If we ever come back to Oak Park, we'd love to stay here again. All communication with Raymond was easy and he's nice person. Thank you!

Perfect for our stay
We were in town for a long weekend to attend a k-pop concert at the United Center. This house was perfect not only because it was just a few driving minutes from the concert, but is located in a beautiful, safe neighborhood. The CTA, grocery store, and places to dine were all within a few blocks radius. Raymond met us when we arrived and he quickly responded to any questions we had. The house was beautiful and cozy and I would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic stay!
The house was amazing, especially the space you get for the price. It’s located in a beautiful neighborhood with grocery store nearby. The house was so clean, great house with character. Raymond was so helpful at check in, and accommodated us as we underestimated traffic and came in an hour later than planned. Kitchen came equiped with everything we needed. If we ever come to Chicago again will definitely try to grab this place again.

Highly Recommend!!
We LOVED this home, centrally located to just about everything, walk to a couple of bars and great neighborhood and beautiful 105 year old home! Ray was a pleasure to communicate with and even did an in person meet and greet. Only recommendation is to add a few more mirrors, maybe back of bedroom doors to make it easier for getting ready when sharing a bathroom. Loved our stay and highly recommend!!!

Beautiful home, Fantastic Location
We have a fantastic stay! This home has everything you need to be your home away from home. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils, pots, pans, dishes and glasses you would need for any meal. The house has so much charm and was in a very nice neighborhood. Everything we could possibly need was nearby including, restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations. The owner was great with responding to anything we contacted him with and came and met us in person when we arrived which I thought was very nice. Just an overall great stay.

Oak Park S Clinton
We’ve stayed several times in Oak Park, and this place by far is the best place to stay. Quiet residential street, convenient to everything. It was spotless. Beautiful bathroom. Comfortable beds. Plenty of plush towels. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of room, and Raymond, the owner, was terrific. I locked us out and broke the coffee pot. He was responsive and really nice about both things

quiet, safe and family-friendly stay in neighborhood
Our stay in this "Relaxing Oak Park Home" lived up to every one of our expectations. Our host Ray was super-helpful and informative before, during and after our stay. He was available and communicative when we needed him and conveniently several blocks away at his own home in the same neighborhood when we didn't. This handsome Craftsman-style Bungalow provides those that appreciate this style with a genuine experience of simplicity and minimalism typified by the early 20th century Arts & Crafts movement. At the same time, the modern decor, furnishings, appliances and fixtures blend well with the Craftsman aesthetic and vibe, providing guests with all the early 21st century conveniences expected in other VRBO listings. If you crave a quiet, relaxing stay in a safe and family-friendly neighborhood, within a short 5-10 minute walk to various amenities and local businesses in the vibrant Oak Park, Berman and Forest Park shopping districts, or a 25 minute drive or 40 minute train ride to downtown, this property is for you.

Wonderful in all ways!!!
This property was absolutely perfect during our 3-day stay for our son's wedding in downtown Chicago, and a great value for 4 adults needing 3 bedrooms. The location is in a nice and quiet neighborhood -- zero outside noise (except for the thunderstorms), yet shops, eateries, etc. are just blocks away, while the I-294 ramp is a few minutes the other way (downtown is 20-ish minutes if traffic is OK). The house is exactly as stated, in a quaint, well-decorated, open concept yet historic home. Large modern kitchen and modern bathroom with walk-in shower, with large old-school bedrooms and lots of closet space. Big enclosed front porch and cute back porch/yard. Ring cameras/locks. Big TV with many channels. Ray is a great host, quickly accommodating us when we let him know we were running a couple hours later than expected, giving us access to the house, and meeting us just after our arrival with a friendly greeting and for any questions. Highly recommend!!!

Oak Park gem
Raymond was a great host. Good communicator and responsive. We didn't meet him in person since we were always on the go but he offered to come over and help us figure out the TV, etc. Back porch offered a nice respite in the evenings. He provided an abundance of towels, the kitchen is well-appointed and modern, though we didn't cook while we were there. Just a couple of niggling details … a couple of boxes of kleenex would be nice, some soap in the shower. We thought coffee maker didn't work, but it appears to be the outlet. Just moved it to another and it worked fine. Also, lights above bathroom sink didn't work. Overall, I would highly recommend this house, but for a max of four people, not more, since there is only one shower. Would definitely stay here again. Good value and close to everything!

Great suburban location
If you don't mind driving or taking the train into Chicago, this spot was great. Lots of character in the little old house, and we could tell the owner was putting in a lot of effort to maintain its charm. The neighborhood is fantastic too...walking or a short drive to grocery, great restaurants, parks, etc. Would stay again!

He met us on arrival to ensure a smooth arrival and explained where everything was and how to access all we needed. Ray is quick to respond to all inquiries and nothing is too much bother. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ray and his home. It was clean, spacious and has everything you need home from home.

Excellent spot for lollapalooza!
Wanted a place to stay outside of Chicago for lollapalooza and this place did not disappoint! The house is gorgeous and in a great neighborhood. We walked to at least two different playgrounds and I felt very safe going out for runs. It was easy to walk to the train station and ride into the city. The host is also very friendly and gave us great local food recommendations.
